The affinity of nanoporous biochars functional groups for immobilization Cu, Zn, and Pb in aqueous solution has been studied. BET results revealed the nanoporous structure of the chars. Batch experiments have been designed and performed.The results indicated remarkable sorption capacity in case of each char: in a multi-metal system, B1, B2, and B3 adorbed 24.39, 23.61, 35.69 mg/g copper, 63.36, 90.96, 95.36 mg/g lead, and 20.16, 21.26, and 25.44 mg/g zinc, respectively. To find out the sorption mechanism with a post-sorption FTIR analysis over the biochars has been made. The results suggest the possible competitive immobilization mechanism as Cu being mainly organically bounded to amino, hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups, Pb forming insoluble hydroxide, phosphate or carbonate, and Zn being mostly sorbed in the residual fraction.

Chapter 10 “Environmental DNA for functional diversity” discusses the potential of environmental DNA to assess functional diversity. It first focuses on DNA metabarcoding and discusses the extent to which this approach can be used and/or optimized to retrieve meaningful information on the functions of the target community. This knowledge usually involves coarsely defined functional groups (e.g., woody, leguminous, graminoid plants; shredders or decomposer soil organisms; pathogenicity or decomposition role of certain microorganisms). Chapter 10 then introduces metagenomics and metatranscriptomics approaches, their advantages, but also the challenges and solutions to appropriately sampling, sequencing these complex DNA/RNA populations. Chapter 10 finally presents several strategies and software to analyze metagenomes/metatranscriptomes, and discusses their pros and cons.

Peptides represent a promising class of biorecognition elements that can be coupled to electrochemical transducers. The benefits lie mainly in their stability and selectivity toward a target analyte. Furthermore, they can be synthesized rather easily and modified with specific functional groups, thus making them suitable for the development of novel architectures for biosensing platforms, as well as alternative labelling tools. Peptides have also been proposed as antibiofouling agents. Indeed, biofouling caused by the accumulation of biomolecules on electrode surfaces is one of the major issues and challenges to be addressed in the practical application of electrochemical biosensors. In this review, we summarise trends from the last three years in the design and development of electrochemical biosensors using synthetic peptides. The different roles of peptides in the design of electrochemical biosensors are described. The main procedures of selection and synthesis are discussed. Selected applications in clinical diagnostics are also described.
